That gets you whatever the latest is, which is good if you want to live on
edge. I'm behind a firewall, and living on edge isn't necessarily a good
option. Would it be too much to ask if you could tag the repo when you jump
to a new release, like David is doing with rspec?
Github lets you download a snapshot of the repo by tags, and I just build
the gems from that, and toss them up into a behind-the-firewall gem server,
and let everyone gem install from there. It's a bit harder with cucumber,
because I'm not sure where the "released, stable" point is ...
